Can Harris’s embrace of the ‘brat’ aesthetic actually move votes?

The pop culture and political crossover is inescapable, whether at Harris campaign rallies or at the first stop of Charli XCX’s Sweat Tour in battleground Michigan.

DETROIT — Within hours of Vice President Kamala Harris’s announcement that she would seek the Democratic nomination for president, popstar Charli XCX fired off a simple tweet that launched a late-summer pop culture phenomenon: “kamala IS brat.”

The three-word declaration — a reference to the British singer’s June album — set off a cross cultural collaboration that merged club culture and politics, unleashing myriad memes and remixes combining Harris’s words and the songs and aesthetic of the “brat” album. To the faithful, “brat” has come to mean honest but messy, like an emotionally complex party girl — often associated with the competing pressures facing women. The Harris campaign embraced the brat style on social media, confounding pundits while exciting Gen Z voters.

Now, the crossover is inescapable. In swing states across the country, Harris fans sport homemade swag in the signature lime green of the album with messages like “DEMOBRAT.” And at the first stop of Charli XCX’s Sweat Tour in battleground Michigan on Saturday, fans wore shirts featuring both the “kamala IS brat” message and Harris campaign slogans like “we’re not going back” in the brat style.

Young voters were key to Joe Biden’s victory in 2020 and tend to vote blue, but enthusiasm among the group waned significantly over the course of his presidency. Gen Z and young millennials have embraced Harris since she took over the ticket, but some Democrats fear they will stay home instead of voting, a margin that could determine the outcome of the election.

In interviews here with more than two dozen young people — many of them first-time voters — all but one said they were planning to support Harris. All said they are more excited about Harris’s candidacy than Biden’s. Still, some said they had reservations particularly around the administration’s support for Israel, a particularly salient issue in the state given Michigan’s large Arab population. Here’s what they had to say. (Interviews have been lightly edited for clarity.)

I’ve been looking at you so long now I only see me

Charli XCX, “Apple”

Does ‘kamala IS brat’ help win young voters?

“I think too many young voters are undecided or don’t want to vote, and I think this might give them like a leg up and make them actually want to vote.”

— Michael Santioni, 26, works in marketing in Michigan, planning to vote for Harris

“[Y]ou get to just see the mesh between, like, pop culture and politics, and how I think brat, to a certain degree, stands for something, and stands for the community. I’m gay, that’s my boyfriend there. We’re here, we’re out, we’re proud, we’re having a good time.”

— Elijah Uribe, 20, student at the University of Michigan, planning to vote for Harris

“I am much more excited. I was not initially planning to vote for Biden. I was planning to vote green party … On one hand, I’m very glad young people are being encouraged to go vote. … But also, at the same time, I feel like celebrity endorsements are ― I have mixed feelings about them, as I think somebody should be able to be voted in based off their own merit alone.”

— Sam Martin, 18, University of Michigan student, planning to vote for Harris

“I didn’t really get into politics at all until I actually saw [Charli’s] tweet when she started ‘kamala IS brat,’ and I was like, ‘let me look into it’ … I didn’t really know a lot about [Harris’s] policies and stuff. I just knew I didn’t want Trump in office. But then, I actually learned about her policies, and now I can justify why I want to vote for her.”

— Nolan Thacker, 18, nursing student in North Carolina, planning to vote for Harris

“I think Kamala’s management jumping on that was one of the best decisions they could have made … It’s definitely going to get young people out there and more interested in the whole process … The brat aesthetic has a lot to do with, like, party girl [imagery] and I mean, Kamala is a very professional woman. So I was like, this is interesting to see kind of the dichotomy of woman, I suppose, and how you can represent two different things at once.”

— April Chrisman, 23, risk management specialist in Indiana, planning to vote for Harris

“I think it’s really important to kind of start merging politics and pop culture, because they’re intertwined. I mean, everyone who lives in this country has to hear about pop culture. It’s a part of us. It’s a part of this country. And even though Charli is English, it’s the same thing. It’s just, you know, standing up for what’s right. And I’m happy to see people outside of the political arena, stepping up.”

— Justin Bliss, 32, office worker in Ohio, planning to vote for Harris

“I think ‘brat’ is a fun album, and I don’t really know if it had to be politicized in that way … It almost feels like it’s kind of becoming like a vehicle for something that maybe it shouldn’t be. It should just be like fun pop anthems we’re all getting together and dancing to.”

— Kat Young, 21, student who works at a day-care center in Michigan, planning to vote for Harris

“I think there is something really special about ‘brat’ and this cultural phenomenon. … I think it’s just like a state of mind. I think people are attracted to it, and it’s kind of the cool thing to do. … I think the celebrity impact really, really does make a difference. … Not everybody’s gonna read Kamala’s policies, but if they see, ‘oh, Kamala is brat’ or someone like Taylor Swift giving [an endorsement], I think it really just creates accessibility.”

— Kelsey Dempsey, 24, works in social media in Pennsylvania, planning to vote for Harris

You’re obsessin’, just confess it, put your hands up / It’s obvious, I’m your number one

Charli XCX, “Von Dutch”

The fans all-in on Harris

“I’m excited. I was feeling nervous because … I feel like people would be more willing to vote for a straight white male than her. However, it’s very exciting. I think she will represent a lot of young girls, and it just — it will help to see people who look like you in places of power. So I’m very excited to see her at the top of the ballot.”

— Aryanna Watson, 19, Grand Valley State University student, planning to vote for Harris

“I love her authenticity. I mean, she truly does embody a ‘brat,’ but most of all, I’m voting for her because of reproductive rights. I’m voting for her just because of basic human rights, and I’m voting for her because I genuinely feel like she’s the best for our country.”

— Sarah Pomfrey, 18, University of Michigan student, planning to vote for Harris

“I feel like her values politically align a lot, and her agenda is something I feel a lot of people in my community can align with, too. Also being a queer individual, I feel like you want someone in power that wants to uphold your rights, whether that be for marriage or just feeling comfortable or being represented politically. And I feel like she might be the appropriate person for that. The ‘brat’ movement aside, I mean that has like influenced it obviously. … No one was like, ‘Biden is brat.’ Not to say he isn’t. But like the whole Kamala stuff is, like, ‘okay, we are accepting her now, she’s one of us, she’s a brat girlie’ … No one really wants to talk about politics or how sad this country is sometimes. But ‘kamala IS brat,’ you get to tweet about it, you get to post a TikTok about it, so I feel like it becomes more relevant.”

— Carlos Escoto-Diaz, 24, University of Michigan graduate student, planning to vote for Harris

Yeah I don’t know if you like me / sometimes I think you might hate me

Charli XCX, “Girl, so confusing”

Fans voting for Harris — with reservations

“She’s way too easy on Israel. I need her to take a much harsher stance for Palestinian liberation. … I’m still going to vote for her because as a queer person, I can’t have Trump in the office, but … I need her to take a much more pro-Palestine stance … Young voters want her to be pro-Palestine, young voters deeply care about it.”

— Anthony Erlandson, 21, Grand Valley State University student, planning to vote for Harris

“I am not the biggest fan, but she’s also not Trump, and she shares some of the views I share. I do think she’s good in terms of what she wants to do with immigration, because that’s very important to me, and my parents are immigrants. … During the debate is kind of when I decided because before I was more on the fence of whether I should vote independent, but then I realized that’s kind of throwing away my vote.”

— Paloma Del Toro, 22, University of Michigan master’s student, planning to vote for Harris

“I definitely was pretty disillusioned. And when Kamala came on, I was like, ‘I’m still not [voting for her].’ But then I think in recent months, my mind has changed a little bit, because, you know, just seeing, Project 2025, seeing like some of the rhetoric around” immigrants eating pets and childless women “are horrible. Just seeing the extremes that [Republicans are] bringing. I was like — I had to just weigh it. Like, ‘yes I will, I will vote for Kamala Harris.’ … I think it would just be stupid for me to not think about the consequences to, you know, women who literally live in this country and immigrants — like visas that they’re trying to get rid of … All that consequence is too big for me to make that decision over a single issue. … So, yeah, I will begrudgingly vote for Kamala Harris.”

— Fati Jafri, 32, art director from New York, planning to vote for Harris

... in his own words and in words of those, who knew him

Concert in Moscow 1993

Samvel Gasparov , a movie director, tells the story about MJ' show in Moscow in 1993:

'I heard about Michael Jackson for the first time back in the 70's. I even knew some of his songs, but I never was a fan. When I worked as a truck driver, I used to listen to Georgian music. Later, when I went to college, I grew to like Joe Dassin, Charles Aznavour, Tom Jones, and Engelbert Humperdinck. But I always knew about Jackson, and I knew that he was a good singer. In the early 90's my dream was to make a movie called "Run brother, run". American filmmakers expressed some interest in the script, and in 1992 I went to Romania where we rented a foundation. As it happened, Michael Jackson was giving a show in Bucharest at that time, and I was introduced to his producer Marcel Avram by one of our mutual friends. Marcel asked me to help them tape Michael's concert, and I did what I could. It was a pleasure. The performance left me stunned. Jackson impressed me very much – he was a genius, that's no question. I was personally introduced to him, and I remember shaking his cool pale hand. On the second day at dinner I told Avram about my wish to make a movie in the USA and my need for money. I already had an offer for five movies and lodging in the US by then. "I like you", Avram said. "If you want, we can bring Michael to Moscow. Then you can organize a show and make some money." I thought it would be cool, but I honestly didn't believe it was possible. But soon after that Avram sent his people to Moscow in order to check out Dessa, the company I headed at the time. It was one of the first Russian private companies created for the purpose of movie making, and I had some good folks on my team.

Suddenly the project came to life. Money was pushed to the background in my mind. I was full of enthusiasm, I wanted to bring that joyful event to people – after all, it was the first time a big Star was going to visit Russia. Since the visit of Avram's delegation and till September 1993 we were busy with preparations. It was my first experience in show business, and I couldn't imagine that it would be that hard and unpredictable. I thought that all showbiz "sharks" would support me and help me with that project, but it turned out the other way round – they threw obstacles in my way and tried to prevent the show from happening. We felt that our efforts were not appreciated. We even got phone calls with threats. And we got attacked by the media: they wrote that I was the king of the liquor industry and the head of the Chechen mafia. They said I was organizing the show in order to sell vodka on the stadium. It was a nightmare! They also wrote garbage about Jackson – that he was a pedophile, and that I was going to bring not him, but his impersonator who would lip synch to his songs. But all this crap only turned us on. We decided that we would make the show happen no matter what.

On September 15, 1993 Michael postpones his flight out of Moscow, Russia, and instead goes to visit a hospital for mentally challenged children there, who rejoice at seeing him and fight for his attention. One of his aides says that the singer has asked for one of the children to be flown to America for care and treatment which Jackson will pay for. The singer holds a few children in his arms and on his lap, comforts and plays with them and wishes to entertain them: “I’d like to sing with them. We all know a song together”, he says, visibly emotional. He also visits children in a nearby orphanage, who will sing a song to him in Russian, turning him – the ultimate performer, into an attentive spectator.

Uk inflation rate holds steady at 2.2% ahead of interest rate decision.

Inflation remained above the Bank of England ’s (BoE) 2% target last month, official figures show, as rate setters prepare to announce the next decision on interest rates.

The Consumer Prices Index (CPI), which tracks cost changes across the economy, rose by 2.2% in the year to August, according to data from the Office for National Statistics.

Core CPI, which excludes energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, rose by 3.6% in the 12 months to August 2024, up from 3.3% in July. Economists had expected a smaller rise in core inflation, to 3.5%.

Services inflation rose by 5.6% in August, in line with economists' expectations, compared with 5.2% in July amid possible impact from Taylor Swift’s UK tour. This measure is closely watched by the Bank rate setters.

Inflation has been slightly above the BoE’s 2% target for two consecutive months. The announcement comes a day before the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) makes its interest rate decision.

Yael Selfin, chief economist at KPMG UK, said: “Strong services sector inflation likely closes the door on interest rate cut tomorrow.”

Money markets indicate there is only a 14% chance that the MPC will reduce borrowing costs, down from 25% before the inflation figures were released.

Grant Fitzner, chief economist at the ONS, said: “Inflation held steady in August as various price fluctuations offset each other.

“The main movements came from air fares, in particular to European destinations, which showed a large monthly rise, following a fall this time last year.

“This was offset by lower prices at the pump as well as falling costs at restaurants and hotels.

“Also, the prices of shop-bought alcohol fell slightly this month, but rose at the same time last year.

“Following two months of growth, raw material prices fell, driven by lower crude oil prices, while the increase in the cost of goods leaving factories slowed again.”

Air fares rose at the second-fastest pace since records began in 2001, in a blow to families during the school summer holidays.

The cost of air travel jumped by by 22.2% between July and August, ONS data showed. On the other hand, motor fuel prices fell by 3.4% in the year to August, compared with a rise of 1.8% in the year to July.

According to the ONS, the average price of petrol fell by 2.1p per litre between July and August to 142.3p per litre. That’s down from 148.5p per litre in August 2023.

Diesel prices fell by 2.6p per litre to 147.8p per litre, down from 151.1p per litre in August 2023.

Cheaper oil prices also meant the cost of raw materials was down, which caused the cost of goods leaving factories to slow.

Darren Jones, chief secretary to the Treasury, said: “Years of sky-high inflation have taken their toll; and prices are still much higher than four years ago.

“So, while more manageable inflation is welcome, we know that millions of families across Britain are struggling , which is why we are determined to fix the foundations of our economy so we can rebuild Britain and make every part of the country better-off.”

Richard Carter, head of fixed interest research at Quilter Cheviot, said the rise in core inflation gives the BoE food for thought.

"Today’s inflation figures for August, which shows CPI has remained at 2.2% will likely bolster predictions that the Bank of England will hold rates as it prepares for its upcoming policy decision this week.

"The inflation data, which follows July's rate of 2.2% will unlikely cause the BoE to want to diverge from its current plans especially given core inflation rose by 3.6% in the 12 months to August, up from 3.3% in July," he said.

He added: "However, the US Federal Reserve, which is expected to deliver a potentially larger-than-anticipated rate cut this week , may play a part in fuelling speculation about the speed of further monetary easing across the world."

Sandra Horsfield, an economist at Investec, said: "The jump and then fall in hotel price inflation in June and July this year was indeed linked to temporary extra demand for accommodation for the first UK leg of Taylor Swift's Eras tour, the second leg of that tour falling into August could have boosted hotel and thereby services price inflation once more."

For mortgage holders, steady inflation means their money can stretch a bit further, Alice Haine, personal finance expert at Bestinvest, said.

“For homeowners and first-time buyers, stable inflation combined with slightly more competitive mortgage rates means affordability levels are improving for those shopping around for a new home as their money can stretch that little bit further," she said.

“Those pinning their hopes on a second rate reduction to ease their borrowing woes are likely to take some comfort from the number of major lenders already rolling out mortgage rate cuts . The number of sub 4% fixed rate deals available is on the rise, with some lenders even extending this to two-year fixes, as competition heats up. A surprise interest rate reduction tomorrow could catalyse the mortgage market even further with rates falling at an even faster pace."

Election Live Updates: Trump to Deliver Rare Campaign Rally in New York

The former president will visit Long Island after repeatedly suggesting during his felony criminal trial in Manhattan earlier this year that he wanted to win his native state, a Democratic stronghold.

• Share full article

Maggie Haberman Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Chris Cameron

Here’s the latest on the presidential race.

Donald J. Trump is set to hold a rally at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island on Thursday night, an event in a relatively friendly area of a deep-blue state where he spent six weeks in a courtroom this year.

While his appearance is unlikely to move the needle on his own support in New York , it could help Republicans in their House races in the area . The event was originally scheduled for the same day as his sentencing in his Manhattan criminal trial, which has been postponed until after the election, but it stayed on his schedule in part because local Republicans wanted it and in part because Mr. Trump likes the venue and enjoys being feted by people in his home state, according to one person close to him.

It will be the second large-scale event for Mr. Trump since Sunday, when the U.S. Secret Service agents guarding him shot at a man they said had a semiautomatic rifle at the fence line of his golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla. Mr. Trump was whisked to safety.

But the apparent assassination attempt — the second Mr. Trump has faced in just over two months — has created a heightened sense of anxiety for his campaign.

There are 48 days until Election Day. Here’s what else to know:

No Teamsters endorsement: The International Brotherhood of Teamsters officially will not endorse a candidate for president , a blow to Vice President Kamala Harris in the final weeks of the campaign. The 1.3 million-member union, which backed President Biden in 2020, has been deeply divided by the openness of its president, Sean O’Brien, to Mr. Trump, who granted him a prime-time speaking slot at the Republican convention in July.

Harris to deliver speech on abortion: Ms. Harris is set to give remarks in Atlanta on Friday focused on the stories of two Georgia mothers whose deaths she has argued show the consequences of the abortion bans passed by Republicans after Roe v. Wade was overturned. The speech is part of an effort by the Harris campaign to push reproductive rights to the center of the presidential election.

Republicans back Harris: More than 100 former national security officials from Republican administrations and former Republican members of Congress endorsed Ms. Harris on Wednesday , saying Mr. Trump is “unfit to serve again as president.” They wrote that he has demonstrated “dangerous qualities,” including an “unusual affinity” for dictators like President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

Vance in Raleigh: Mr. Vance held a campaign rally in Raleigh, N.C., where the Trump campaign is to deliver an economic message focusing on inflation. Mr. Vance has also accused Democrats and the news media in recent days of using language he said has fueled assassination attempts against Mr. Trump.

Fed cuts rates: The Federal Reserve cut interest rates on Wednesday for the first time since early 2020, the clearest signal yet that central bankers believe they are winning their battle against inflation. Fed officials slashed borrowing costs by half a percentage point, an unusually large reduction. The decision lowers rates to about 4.9 percent, down from a more than two-decade high.

Latest polling: Polls taken after the presidential debate last week suggest that Ms. Harris might be poised to gain in the race; the first few that have been released so far show her faring better than before her face-off with Mr. Trump. If history is any guide, it will still be a few more days before the full scope of any post-debate bounce becomes evident.

Kellen Browning and Alexandra Berzon

Kellen Browning watched early seasons of “Survivor” with his family as a child, and then rediscovered it when he was in high school. Alexandra Berzon, like many newer fans, binged old seasons of the show during the pandemic.

On ‘Survivor,’ talking politics could get you voted off the island.

In the summer of 2016, as Donald J. Trump was locking up the Republican nomination for president, Sarah Lacina was dominating in her second appearance on the reality television show “Survivor.”

Ms. Lacina, a young police officer from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, maneuvered strategically through the game, voting out her opposition and bonding with an array of allies to earn the votes of a majority of other contestants on an island in Fiji and win the $1 million prize.

Then, back at base camp after the cameras had stopped rolling, Ms. Lacina donned a red Make America Great Again hat — an action that felt to some of the more liberal contestants like a jarring reminder of the real world.

“I was floored,” said Andrea Boehlke, a fellow player who voted for Ms. Lacina to win. “I went, ‘Wait, this is a joke, right?’”

It was one of the rare moments that electoral politics pierced the bubble surrounding a show that has spanned 25 years and 46 seasons.

On Wednesday evening, in the thick of another heated election year with Mr. Trump on the ballot, the 47th season of “Survivor” will premiere on CBS. One of the contestants is uniquely known for his politics: Jon Lovett, a 42-year-old host of the popular liberal podcast “Pod Save America” and a former speechwriter for Barack Obama. But there is no indication that his presence on the island will lead to any more of a political season than usual.

The reality show involves stranding from 16 to 20 contestants in a remote locale for weeks with minimal supplies, dividing them into groups — known as tribes — and subjecting them to grueling physical challenges. But the main feature is an intricate social game in which players form what is essentially their own society and political system, periodically voting one another off the island at a ceremony called tribal council.

“Survivor” has delved into a wide variety of heavy topics over the years, including gender bias, L.G.B.T.Q. representation, intergenerational differences, sexual misconduct and racism. Once, the show divided players into tribes based on race , for what it billed as an experiment and a response to criticism that the show cast few nonwhite contestants. Producers have long suggested the game is a microcosm of society, where issues present in real life often come up organically on the show as well.

Very rarely, though, has the reality television juggernaut veered into any robust discussion of campaigns, presidential candidates or divisive policy questions — even as those conversations have increasingly come to dominate workplaces, family gatherings and even pop culture and sports.

Interviews with a dozen former contestants spanning multiple seasons, as well as longtime members of the production, offered various explanations as to why.

Jeff Probst, the show’s host and executive producer, said in an interview that he was “fascinated” that politics continues to rarely come up. He suggested that the primal nature of the show, where contestants are far from the vitriol of social media and focused on basic needs like food and shelter, might make the topic seem beside the point.

“I do think there’s something there about not being around it all the time, and being in a group of people who are shivering and trying to find something to eat,” Mr. Probst said. “It just loses its importance.”

Sophie Clarke, a 35-year-old health care administrator who won a season of the show filmed in 2011, added: “When you’re starving on an island, the last thing you care about is Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.”

Another factor, former contestants said, is the constant state of paranoia that exists during the game. Players are looking for any excuse to form an alliance or find someone to isolate and vote off.

“If someone just gets a whiff of you having different beliefs, or if you say something about a sensitive subject to someone and you put your foot in your mouth, you could be getting your torch snuffed,” said Parvati Shallow, a 41-year-old former “Survivor” winner and life coach who played the game four times, referring to the show’s ceremonial method of ending a player’s time in the game.

The only time Ms. Shallow recalled politics coming up was during the show’s all-winner season, filmed in 2019. A contestant named Nick Wilson — who later became a Republican state senator in Kentucky — briefly referred to his conservative beliefs. Ms. Shallow, a liberal, recalled quickly steering the conversation back to safer ground.

Mr. Wilson, a lawyer, said he had made a conscious decision to avoid talking politics while on the show, even as he was mulling a political career.

“You don’t want to give anybody a reason to look down on you in any way, ” said Mr. Wilson, 34, whose first season was in 2018.

Tiffany Nicole Ervin, a 33-year-old artist living in Los Angeles who competed in the show’s most recent season, said that on “Survivor” she tried to avoid liberal political talk, a frequent part of her normal life, in an effort to fit in.

“Your main objective is to figure out how you can make these people feel like you’re just like them,” Ms. Ervin said.

When being stranded is still an escape

As U.S. politics have grown more caustic, former players said, both contestants and viewers look to “Survivor” as an escape, rather than as an opportunity to witness more conflict.

And the show itself has changed, evolving from an examination of how people from disparate backgrounds might clash to one of personal growth and strategy.

“In the year 2000, you looked to ‘Survivor’ to see people behaving badly, and looked to politics to see people acting in a civilized manner,” said Rob Cesternino, a two-time “Survivor” player who now runs a podcast network focused on “Survivor” and other TV shows. “In 2024, you see people in politics acting uncivilized, and the sportsmanship on ‘Survivor’ is held to a standard that is way beyond what we see our politicians have to follow.”

Ms. Lacina, now 40, said the reaction to her MAGA hat — and what she recalled was subsequent outcry from fans and “Survivor" alumni after she says she posted a photo of her child with Mr. Trump on her social media — caught her off guard. She felt as if she was being falsely caricatured when she thought that she had far more complex political views than could be summed up by a picture or a hat. (On the show, for example, she had defended a transgender contestant who was outed by a fellow player .)

“It shouldn’t matter what I wear,” she said. “You just got to know me for 39 days, and you’re going to let a piece of clothing all of a sudden define who I am as a person.”

Ms. Boehlke, 35, who characterizes herself as liberal, said the moment with Ms. Lacina was such a shock not because she regretted picking someone who supported Mr. Trump, but because politics had just never come up.

Mr. Lovett, a “Survivor” fan before going on the show, has spent most of this year fixated on the minutiae of the 2024 presidential election as part of his job at Crooked Media, the liberal political media company he co-founded with other Obama administration alumni in 2017. But there was one notable gap — when he was in Fiji for about a month in April filming the new season.

He said he entered the game not planning to lie about his background if it came up, but hoping to stick to his profession as a podcast host rather than his time in the White House, conscious that being outspoken about politics does not play well on the island.

“Sometimes people talk themselves into being afraid to say they’re lawyers or being afraid to be honest about their age,” Mr. Lovett said. “I worried more about trying to not be myself” and having to keep up a pretense.

The real world intrudes

From the beginning, real-life cultural tensions have made their way to the island. The first season of “Survivor” featured an openly gay contestant — who went on to win — bonding with a grizzled former Navy SEAL who had never been around a gay person before.

The season divided by race, filmed in 2006, was controversial. Yul Kwon, who won the season, called “Survivor: Cook Islands,” said he almost quit when producers revealed the theme just before filming started.

“I was really worried about how this could play out,” said Mr. Kwon, 49, an executive at Google, “and more broadly how people would interpret what happened and politicize it for different political agendas.” Still, that season ended up producing a number of popular players of various racial backgrounds.

One recent season is most remembered for criticism of how it handled female players’ complaints of inappropriate touching by a male contestant. A year later, in 2020, Black former “Survivor” players successfully pushed CBS for more diverse representation on the show .

“Survivor” has not shied away from airing difficult or controversial discussions that occur on the island. In a season filmed in 2021, two Black contestants expressed dismay at two other Black players’ being voted out back to back, leading to a lengthy reflection at tribal council about unconscious bias.

Mr. Probst said producers were equally “not afraid to tell a story that involves politics on ‘Survivor,’” especially if the moment captured something important about the season. (At one point many years ago, Mr. Probst said, the show considered a season themed around political division. They ultimately decided against it.)

“But we wouldn’t go out of our way to just force a political conversation simply because we’re on during an election,” he said.

Mr. Lovett said the show was heartening as a democratic experiment at a time when Americans have deep anxieties over politics.

“I really like that there’s this form of a democracy that a bunch of people get to watch in the run-up to an election that doesn’t make them feel pessimistic,” Mr. Lovett said.

He added: “We’re on season 47, and we still have zero insurrections.”

Donald Trump, who has spent months trying to spark doubts about election integrity, once again promoted a baseless claim that Democrats were registering “tens of thousands” of undocumented immigrants to vote. His comments were part of his continued push to get Republicans to include a bill focused on noncitizen voters in a spending package this fall, despite the fact that noncitizens already are not allowed to vote in federal elections.

At the Nassau Coliseum, where Donald Trump will hold a rally tonight, Rudy Giuliani is still a star. The former New York mayor was greeted with a huge cheer as he was ushered to the front of the metal detector line.

Vance has finished speaking in Raleigh and is heading back to Washington, getting raucous applause on the way out. At one point, a woman in the crowd shouted, “I love you Vance!” He responded, “I love you too,” and returned to his speech for a moment before adding, “Don’t tell my wife.”

Toward the end of his rally in Raleigh, Vance repeated a misleading claim that it was Trump, not the Biden administration, that capped insulin at $35 a month for Medicare beneficiaries. A voluntary cap was established during the Trump administration, but it was the Inflation Reduction Act signed by President Biden that required plans to cap insulin costs at $35 a month.

With no endorsement from the national body of the Teamsters, expect more local and regional branches to issue their own endorsements. Today, the public affairs arm of the California Teamsters released a letter on social media backing Harris. The group says it represents 300,000 Teamsters across the western United States.

Vice President Kamala Harris said in a statement that the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates by half a percentage point was “welcome news for Americans who have borne the brunt of high prices.” She also contrasted her plans to address high costs for groceries, health care and housing with former President Donald Trump’s desire to cut taxes for the wealthy, impose tariffs on foreign goods and repeal the Affordable Care Act, all of which she said would raise prices.

Katie Rogers

Katie Rogers covered the Trump administration and wrote a book on the lives of modern first ladies, including Melania Trump.

Melania Trump defends her nude modeling work as she promotes a new book.

In what is certainly a first for a former first lady, Melania Trump is defending her past work as a nude model, calling it a form of art in “celebration of the human form” and blaming “the media” for scrutinizing it.

In a 45-second video clip posted to her social media accounts on Wednesday, Mrs. Trump, 54, provided some of the most extensive remarks she has given about the topic — or any topic, really — since her departure from the White House in January 2021.

“Are we no longer able to appreciate the beauty of the human body?” Mrs. Trump asks in the video, as images of classical paintings and sculptures, including John Collier’s “Lady Godiva” and Michelangelo’s “David,” cycle across the screen. “We should honor our bodies and embrace the timeless tradition of using art as a powerful means of self-expression.”

Her defense of nude modeling, with its broader call for artistic expression, was part of a series of videos promoting a memoir set for release in October. But the latest message struck a somewhat jarring chord: Her career as a model has not been the subject of broad news coverage since the 2016 presidential race.

So Mrs. Trump’s much-delayed response was delivered in the middle of a toxic election season marred by two assassination attempts against her husband, former President Donald J. Trump.

In July, after Mr. Trump was grazed by a bullet in the first attempt, Mrs. Trump wrote an open letter condemning a “heinous” act of violence that had threatened to change her life forever. She has offered no such comments since Mr. Trump was apparently targeted on Sunday, and her office did not respond to a request for comment about whether she planned to provide any.

And so it goes for one of the most inscrutable first ladies in modern history. Mrs. Trump has seldom felt the need to explain herself, preferring instead to let her comments, as cryptic as they are, serve as her first and final thoughts on any given matter.

In recent days, she has published a string of videos that appear to reflect some of her most deeply held beliefs: a commitment to her family, a reverence for privacy, an embrace of conspiratorial thinking and a growing mistrust of institutions.

In a video posted in early September, she mused darkly about the July assassination attempt. “There is definitely more to this story,” she declared, “and we need to uncover the truth.”

In the glimpses that Mrs. Trump has allowed into her world, ominous thoughts are interlaced with the joy she has derived in being a mother to Barron Trump, her 18-year-old son with Mr. Trump. The experience, she said in a video last week, has brought her “immense fulfillment that only a mother understands.”

Mrs. Trump has long been described as an intensely private person , with little interest in circulating among the social sets of New York City and Palm Beach, Fla., where she has lived for decades. On Saturday, she published a video castigating the F.B.I. for a raid on Mar-a-Lago, where she lives with Mr. Trump in Palm Beach, in which agents searched her personal belongings.

“This is not just my story — it serves as a warning to all Americans,” she said in the video, which featured images of the Constitution and illustrations of the country’s founding fathers, “a reminder that our freedom and rights must be respected.”

But Mrs. Trump’s defense of her modeling career is different from the other videos because it revisits an old wound about her critics’ use of her past against her. In the video, she blamed the news media for criticizing her modeling; in reality, the most visible criticism came from operatives opposed to her husband’s 2016 presidential campaign .

In January 2000, when she was still only dating Mr. Trump, she appeared nude on the cover of a “Naked supermodel special” issue of British GQ. In other photos taken aboard Mr. Trump’s Boeing 727 for the issue, she appeared in various states of undress.

During the Republican presidential primary race in 2016, one of the images was resurfaced and circulated by an anti-Trump super PAC called “Make America Awesome.”

“Meet Melania Trump. Your next first lady,” the ad read. “Or, you could support Ted Cruz on Tuesday.” (Mr. Cruz denied being involved, but this did not prevent Mr. Trump from posting an unflattering photo of Mr. Cruz’s wife.)

Since then, one of the causes closest to Mrs. Trump’s heart, her former advisers have said, is the protection of her image and reputation.

As first lady, she was hawkish about which photos of her could be used by the White House, signing off on each image before it was published, according to Stephanie Grisham, a former senior adviser.

Mrs. Trump has also sued writers and news organizations that insinuated without evidence that she worked as an escort during her modeling career.

In 2017, the British tabloid The Daily Mail was ordered by a London court to apologize for an article that “questioned the nature of her work as a professional model.” Mrs. Trump and her lawyers argued that the publication had damaged her ability to make money as an “extremely famous and well-known person.”

Though the case was settled, Mrs. Trump remained aware that her online critics used her past as a nude model to suggest that her work was unbecoming of a first lady.

Her latest video suggests that she has not settled that score just yet.

Asked about Haitians immigrants legally working and living in the United States through Temporary Protected Status, Vance criticized the Biden administration for granting that status to Haitians, asserting that the government had “illegally” given them that protection and saying that he would still refer to them as “illegal aliens” anyway.

A Wall Street Journal reporter asked Vance about the rate cut by the Federal Reserve today and the likelihood it will help ease inflation, and was booed by the rally audience. Vance said that the economic relief offered by the Fed’s decision “is nothing compared to the disastrous policies” of the Biden administration.

After the Teamsters announced it will not endorse a presidential candidate, the Trump campaign is celebrating the support the former president has from rank-and-file members. The union’s announcement said a majority of members backed Trump in two surveys after President Biden left the race.

Speaking from Union Station in Raleigh, Vance criticized Harris for avoiding media interviews while mocking the interviews she has done in recent weeks.

“Part of the reason I want Kamala Harris to do more interviews is because there’s so much comic relief in it,” Vance said, riffing off her frequent mentions that she grew up in a middle class family and her time working at McDonald’s as the crowd laughed.

The Teamsters will not endorse a presidential candidate, leaving the union on the sidelines of 2024.

The leadership of the 1.3-million-member International Brotherhood of Teamsters said in a statement Wednesday it would not back a presidential candidate, a blow to Vice President Kamala Harris, who has the endorsement of the country’s other powerful labor unions.

The decision by the Teamsters board, while short of an endorsement for former President Donald J. Trump, vindicated Mr. Trump’s strategy of wooing the union’s president, Sean O’Brien, a leader who has repeatedly signaled his willingness to chart his own path. The board’s vote was 14 for not endorsing and three for Ms. Harris. No board member backed Mr. Trump.

“Unfortunately neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Mr. O’Brien said in the statement issued by the board.

Mr. O’Brien’s equivalence between the two candidates could be seen as a boost for Mr. Trump, especially considering the same statement noted that Ms. Harris backed pro-organizing legislation, known as the PRO Act, while Mr. Trump refused to commit to vetoing so-called right-to-work legislation, which would prohibit mandatory union dues payments from workers who opt out of a unionized workplace.

But the former president worked hard to curry Mr. O’Brien’s favor, inviting him to his private club and residence, Mar-a-Lago, this summer and then granting him his wish for a prime-time speaking slot at the Republican National Convention in July. The Democratic convention rebuffed him.

Mr. O’Brien’s openness to Mr. Trump — who angered other unions by appointing anti-labor members to the National Labor Relations Board and praising Elon Musk recently for a willingness to fire striking workers — has badly divided the union .

The Teamsters’ National Black Caucus, more than a half-dozen Teamsters locals, and members of the union’s national leadership have endorsed Ms. Harris over Mr. O’Brien’s objections. Opponents of the former president have organized a Teamsters Against Trump effort that has undermined Mr. O’Brien two years into his first term as president. After the national union declined to endorse on Wednesday, two Teamsters joint governing councils in the West, which cover 300,000 workers including those in the swing state of Nevada, announced they would back Ms. Harris.

The union endorsed President Biden in 2020, as well as the Democrats Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.

“I’m very disappointed that our international leadership has chosen not to stand up to a bully and an anti-union candidate,” James Curbeam, chairman of the Teamsters’ National Black Caucus, said in an interview Wednesday.

On Monday, Ms. Harris held a round table with Teamsters leaders that was at times tense. Allies of Mr. O’Brien pushed her on the role President Biden played in averting a rail strike in late 2022 and the ways the White House could have been more helpful in a Teamsters dispute last summer with United Parcel Service .

Ms. Harris said she would like the union’s endorsement, but she also said she would win in November and would treat the Teamsters fairly with or without it. Declining to endorse in the presidential election leaves the union officially on the sidelines, depriving both candidates of organizing muscle in the final weeks of the campaign.

The union’s membership was clearly divided. Earlier this year, when Mr. Biden was still in the race, Mr. O’Brien asked each Teamsters local to hold a straw poll. The Teamsters released those results on Wednesday : Mr. Biden had won a plurality, 44 percent to Mr. Trump’s 36 percent. But the union released two other surveys as well, an “electronic member poll” that showed Mr. Trump crushing Ms. Harris, 60 percent to 34 percent, and a “research phone poll” with a similar Trump lead, 58 percent to 31 percent.

The Trump campaign hailed those numbers: “The vast majority of rank-and-file working men and women in this important organization want President Donald Trump back in the White House,” it said in a statement.

But the release of those polls, with their stark shift in opinion, prompted additional disagreement. Mr. Curbeam said the latter numbers were gleaned from an unscientific survey printed on the back of the union’s magazine.

And the Harris campaign took an unexpected swipe at Teamsters leaders after the decision.

“As the vice president told the Teamsters on Monday, when she is elected president, she will look out for the Teamsters rank-and-file no matter what,” Lauren Hitt, a Harris campaign spokeswoman, said, leaving out the top brass.

Ahead of the decision, the Harris campaign tried to mitigate the blow, noting that of the 10 largest unions in the country, only the Teamsters had not backed her, and that the umbrella labor organization, the A.F.L.-C.I.O., represents about 10 times the number of workers in the Teamsters and is working hard on Ms. Harris’s behalf.

Still, with its diffuse membership and its working-class credibility among truck drivers, rail workers and freight haulers, the Teamsters union could have bolstered the Democrats’ ground game in battleground states this fall.

The decision not to endorse reflected the divisions within the union’s rank-and-file. Leaders who backed Ms. Harris noted that the Biden administration had done much to like. Mr. Biden’s Covid relief bill, the American Rescue Plan, included the one measure that Teamsters leaders wanted the most — a huge bailout of pension plans that will restore retirement accounts at the union for three decades.

“When we were all worried about what was going to happen with our pensions, I remember watching Kamala Harris cast that vote, and there was nothing but applause all around,” said Michelle Espinoza, 51, a member of Teamsters Local 135 in Indianapolis who drives a semi-truck cross country with her husband every week. (Ms. Harris broke the tie on the American Rescue Plan.)

The $1 trillion infrastructure bill , the $280 billion measure to rekindle a domestic semiconductor industry and the Inflation Reduction Act and its $370 billion for clean energy to combat climate change all had pro-union provisions, including measures that mandated union-scale wages and tilted toward union apprenticeship and training programs.

But working-class voters, especially white men, have favored Mr. Trump, a point Ms. Harris conceded on Monday when she told Teamsters leaders that she understood the union’s rank-and-file was looking at issues beyond labor, such as immigration. She implored Teamsters officials to tell members that she had backed a bipartisan border security bill that was negotiated in the Senate and then killed at the behest of Mr. Trump.

Vance complains about Democrats using ‘fascist.’ Trump uses it often.

Senator JD Vance of Ohio pointed blame at some Democrats’ labeling of former President Donald J. Trump as a “fascist” for fomenting violence against him, ignoring his running mate’s repeated use of the same word to attack Vice President Kamala Harris.

In a speech on Monday in Georgia, Mr. Vance said that Mr. Trump’s political opponents had crossed a line with their language, which he suggested had played a role in what the authorities are investigating as an assassination attempt directed at Mr. Trump while he was golfing in Florida on Sunday .

“Look, we can disagree with one another, we can debate one another, but we cannot tell the American people that one candidate is a fascist and, if he’s elected, it is going to be the end of American democracy,” Mr. Vance said at a Georgia Faith & Freedom Coalition dinner.

Mr. Trump has called Ms. Harris a “fascist” on at least five occasions, including at a rally on Thursday in Arizona and during a news conference on Friday near Los Angeles .

“She’s a Marxist, communist, fascist, socialist,” Mr. Trump said in Tucson, Ariz.

At the dinner on Monday, Mr. Vance said that “no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months.” The vice president has been the target of violent threats while in office.

The incident on Sunday, in which Mr. Trump was not harmed, comes just over two months after he was grazed on his right ear by gunfire during a campaign rally in Butler, Pa.

Mr. Vance also mentioned remarks last year by Representative Daniel Goldman, Democrat of New York, calling for Mr. Trump to be “eliminated,” a comment that Mr. Goldman, a Harris ally, apologized for at the time.

“I’d say that’s pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out,” Mr. Vance said.

Steven Cheung, a campaign spokesman for Mr. Trump, stood by the former president’s use of the word when asked for comment on Wednesday.

“As President Trump correctly points out, Kamala Harris is a radical leftist, Marxist, communist and fascist because she is hell bent on destroying America by continuing her disastrous policies that have hurt people all across the country,” Mr. Cheung said. Mr. Trump has also called for Democrats to tone down their speech, using his own harsh language to do so .

A spokesman for Mr. Vance did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

Harris will give abortion speech in Georgia after deaths of two women.

Vice President Kamala Harris will give remarks in Atlanta on Friday focused on the stories of two Georgia mothers whose deaths she has argued show the consequences of the strict abortion bans passed by Republicans after Roe v. Wade was overturned.

The speech is part of an effort by the Harris campaign to push reproductive rights to the center of the presidential election, according to a person with knowledge of the event who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the plans.

The deaths, reported this week by ProPublica , occurred in the months after Georgia passed a law banning abortion at six weeks. Amber Thurman died of sepsis resulting from an incomplete medication abortion after waiting 20 hours in a suburban Atlanta hospital for medical care. A second woman, Candi Miller, died after declining to seek medical care for complications from abortion medication.

Throughout her campaign, Ms. Harris has sought to tie former President Donald J. Trump, who has taken credit for appointing the Supreme Court justices who provided the key votes to overturn the federal right to abortion, to dire medical situations faced by women seeking the procedure in states where it is banned or heavily restricted.

Over the past week, Ms. Harris and her campaign have repeatedly highlighted the deaths of the two women in Georgia, a crucial presidential battleground. Her campaign hammered Senator JD Vance of Ohio, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, for skipping a Senate vote on legislation protecting access to in vitro fertilization, or I.V.F.

And it released a new ad featuring a gutting testimonial from Hadley Duvall, a survivor of sexual abuse who was impregnated by her stepfather at age 12. She miscarried but, as a young adult, has become a prominent advocate for abortion rights, particularly in her home state of Kentucky, where the Republican-led legislature passed a ban on the procedure with no exceptions for rape or incest.

“I can’t imagine not having a choice,” she said of her pregnancy , in a speech at the Democratic National Convention.

On Thursday, Ms. Duvall will appear with Ms. Harris at a virtual event with Oprah Winfrey.

Abortion rights have dominated American politics since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022, transforming a once-sleepy debate over whether a woman can legally terminate a pregnancy into a driving electoral force. In campaigns across the country, Democrats have embraced the personal stories of women facing life-threatening medical complications to highlight the impacts of new restrictions on abortion rights and access.

Aides say Ms. Harris believes appearing at the site of these bans — rushing into the fire of weighty issues, as they describe it — is an important way to leverage the power of her bully pulpit. She traveled to Arizona and Iowa shortly after those states enacted restrictions, and was the first sitting vice president to visit the site of an abortion clinic.

In her remarks on Friday, Ms. Harris will call for restoring federal abortion rights and cite the women’s deaths as illustrating the devastating impacts of what she calls “Trump Abortion Bans,” according to the person with knowledge of her remarks.

“Women are bleeding out in parking lots, turned away from emergency rooms, losing their ability to ever have children again,” she said in a statement about ProPublica’s reporting earlier this week. “And now women are dying. These are the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.”

In an effort to build support among Latino voters, Harris wrapped a 20-minute speech by speaking about immigration, abortion rights and emphasizing her plans for addressing a housing shortage. She also issued one of her sharper lines of criticism against Trump’s immigration proposals. “Now they plan to carry out the largest deportation, a mass deportation, in American history,” Harris said. “Imagine what that would look like and what that would be. How’s that going to happen? Massive raids? Massive detention camps? What are we talking about?”

Harris got in a dig at Trump for his debate performance just now. In a portion of her speech on health policy, she asked the crowd with a chuckle if they had seen the debate and referenced Trump answering a question about whether he had policy plans by saying he had “concepts” of a plan.

The crowd at this Congressional Hispanic Caucus event appeared to be the most engaged as Harris turned to the subject of immigration. Harris said she would pursue both an “earned pathway to citizenship” and prioritize border security. “We can do both and we must do both,” she said.

Harris’s speech is reflecting a broader strategy by Democrats hoping to build support among Latinos. She is not focusing on any one issue, such as immigration, but rather framing herself as a candidate who will focus on lowering prescription drug prices and addressing housing shortages.

She has developed a theme of using her mother’s story to emphasize her understanding of the issues. “People just want to get their foot in the door. My mother worked hard, she saved enough,” Harris tells the crowd. “And the American dream is elusive for far too many people.”

Harris has taken the stage. Chuck Rocha, a Democratic strategist, told me before this event that Latino voters, like voters across the nation, are still seeking to learn more about her. Harris is trying to address that challenge so far in her remarks, describing her upbringing by an immigrant mother and her time as a prosecutor in California.

Vice President Harris will soon take the stage at this Congressional Hispanic Caucus event. She will be greeted by an overwhelmingly friendly crowd in this auditorium in Washington — most of the crowd began applauding as her aides affixed the vice presidential seal to the lectern.

In Georgia, a new showdown is brewing over election rules.

A showdown is brewing between the top election official in Georgia and the State Election Board over more than a dozen new rules and procedures scheduled to be voted on by the board at a meeting on Friday.

A lawyer for the election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, sent a scathing letter to the State Election Board on Monday, criticizing “the absurdity of the board’s actions” while warning that new rules under consideration are dangerously late in the election process and most likely illegal.

The fight comes as the election board is under increasing pressure from critics already concerned that it has been rewriting the rules of the game in a key swing state to favor former President Donald J. Trump, including potentially disrupting certification of the election if Mr. Trump loses in November. Last month, the board granted local officials new power over the election certification process, a change that opponents say could sow chaos.

The two-page letter from Charlene S. McGowan, the general counsel for Mr. Raffensperger, sets up a choice for the election board before its meeting on Friday: Heed the guidance of the top election official in the state, or ignore the legal advice and pass another package of election rules that include right-wing policy goals such as hand counting of ballots.

“It is far too late in the election process for counties to implement new rules and procedures, and many poll workers have already completed their required training,” Ms. McGowan wrote in the letter, which she said was a response to a request for comment on the proposed rules from the chairman of the board. “If the board believes that rules changes are important for an election, the process should begin much sooner to allow for smooth implementation and training and include the input of election officials.”

A spokesman for the State Election Board did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The letter, which was reviewed by The New York Times, comes amid a contentious relationship between state and county election officials with the board, which recently was taken over by a 3-2 conservative majority.

Pressure on the board from election officials continues to grow. The Georgia Association of Voter Registration and Election Officials, a nonpartisan collective of local election officials, released a similarly harsh critique of the State Election Board and the proposed new rules.

“We do not oppose rules because we are lazy or because a political operative or organization wants us to,” the letter said. “We oppose rules because they are poorly written, inefficient, would not accomplish their stated goals, or go directly against state law.”

Multiple county election boards across Georgia, including those in Cobb and Athens-Clarke Counties, adopted resolutions denouncing the state board for introducing rules so close to the election and calling on the board to halt implementation of any new rules within 90 days of the election.

Democrats have sued the board for rules passed at a previous meeting, and a list of prominent Republican lawyers and law enforcement officers sent Gov. Brian Kemp a letter urging him to investigate and remove members of the State Election Board.

In Ms. McGowan’s letter, she laid out a clear list of deadlines in Georgia election code to detail how new rules risk complicating the process. Counties begin mailing absentee ballots to voters on Oct. 7, and early in-person voting starts on Oct. 15. The earliest that new rules from the State Election Board could take effect would be Oct. 14. Ms. McGowan noted that Oct. 14 “is 22 days before the general election when Georgia voters will already be voting.”

She also said that the board lacked the legal authority to implement many of its proposed rules, including changing the form of ballots and the state voter registration database.

She was especially critical of two proposals to add hand counting of ballots in both early voting and on Election Day. She warned that those measures would add burdensome costs and labor at a very late stage in the election process and said they could invite error or fraud and harm the sanctity of the November election.

“These new procedures would disrupt existing chain of custody protocols under the law and needlessly introduce the risk of error, lost ballots, or fraud,” Ms. McGowan said. She added that workers were “prohibited from tabulating ballots before the close of the polls on Election Day, which would be compromised by the viewing and counting of ballots during advance voting.”

Ms. McGowan advised against other rules simply because there is so little time before the election, invoking an informal judicial doctrine, known as the Purcell principle, that urges judges not to change rules close to an election and citing Justice Brett Kavanaugh of the Supreme Court.

“The board should heed the words of Justice Kavanaugh,” she wrote, “and pause any further rule-making to ensure that the rules are ‘clear and settled’ and avoid ‘unfair consequences’ in the 2024 general election.”

Vice President Kamala Harris will speak soon at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus event in Washington. Although she is attending in her official capacity, the appearance comes as her campaign ramps up messaging to Latino voters. With Latin music playing in the auditorium here, some are beginning to take their seats, including Representative Adriano Espaillat, Democrat of New York, and other supporters.

In recent days, the Harris campaign has devoted $3 million to new advertisements on Spanish-language radio, dispatched Latino surrogates to key swing states and sent campaign officials to a championship boxing match between Canelo Álvarez and Edgar Berlanga.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders jabs at Harris for not having biological children.

Introducing former President Donald J. Trump at a town-hall event in Michigan on Tuesday, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas extolled the virtue of humility in politics with an amusing story: She once teared up while watching her daughter get ready for a father-daughter dance, and her daughter said, “It’s OK, Mommy, one day you can be pretty too.”

“So my kids keep me humble,” Ms. Sanders said. Then, mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris’s name, she added, “Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.”

The comment was widely interpreted as a reference to Ms. Harris not having biological children; she has two stepchildren. Coming from a surrogate for a campaign whose vice-presidential nominee, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, has been criticized for his past description of Democratic leadership as “childless cat ladies,” Ms. Sanders’s remark quickly prompted bipartisan backlash, including from Bryan Lanza, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign.

Mr. Lanza said on CNN that the remark was “actually offensive” and that he was “disappointed in Sarah.”

Several Democratic-aligned groups highlighted the remark on social media, including the super PAC American Bridge 21st Century, Young Democrats of America and Republican Voters Against Trump. So did TV commentators.

“Whoa,” Mika Brzezinski said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday. “What is their obsession with women without children of their biological connection?”

Sam Dubke, a spokesman for Ms. Sanders, said her remarks about lacking humility had been in reference to Ms. Harris “claiming she alone can solve America’s problems.”

Ms. Harris’s campaign did not comment.

Kerstin Emhoff — the ex-wife of Ms. Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, and the mother of Ms. Harris’s stepchildren — defended Ms. Harris.

“Cole and Ella keep us inspired to make the world a better place,” she said in a social media post, referring to her children. “I do it through storytelling. Kamala Harris has spent her entire career working for the people, ALL families. That keeps you pretty humble.”

Mr. Vance has raised eyebrows on the matter of parenting before. In 2021, he said that perhaps parents “should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our democratic republic than people who don’t have kids,” a suggestion that he later said was a “thought experiment” and not serious.

He has also said he wasn’t disparaging women without children, while doubling down on describing Democrats as “anti-family.”

His “childless cat ladies” remark has become something of a cultural phenomenon among supporters of Ms. Harris. In one sign of its continuing resonance, Taylor Swift used it to sign off her endorsement of Ms. Harris last week.

Reporting from Washington

111 former Republican officials back Harris, calling Trump ‘unfit to serve.’

More than 100 former national security officials from Republican administrations and former Republican members of Congress endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday after concluding that their party’s nominee, Donald J. Trump, is “unfit to serve again as president.”

In a letter to the public , the Republicans, including both vocal longtime Trump opponents and others who had not endorsed Joseph R. Biden Jr. in 2020, argued that while they might “disagree with Kamala Harris” on many issues, Mr. Trump had demonstrated “dangerous qualities.” Those include, they said, “unusual affinity” for dictators like President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and “contempt for the norms of decent, ethical and lawful behavior.”

“As president,” the letter said, “he promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests and betrayed our values, democracy and this country’s founding documents.”

The letter condemned Mr. Trump’s incitement of the mob attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, aimed at allowing him to hold onto power after losing an election, saying that “he has violated his oath of office and brought danger to our country.” It quoted Mr. Trump’s own former vice president, Mike Pence, who has said that “anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.”

The letter came not long after former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming , both said they would vote for Ms. Harris. Democrats featured a number of anti-Trump Republicans at their nominating convention last month, including former Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois. Mr. Pence has said he will not endorse Mr. Trump but has not endorsed Ms. Harris.

The 111 signatories included former officials who served under Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush. Many of them had previously broken with Mr. Trump, including two former defense secretaries, Chuck Hagel and William S. Cohen; Robert B. Zoellick, a former president of the World Bank; the former C.I.A. directors Michael V. Hayden and William H. Webster; a former director of national intelligence, John D. Negroponte; and former Gov. William F. Weld of Massachusetts. Miles Taylor and Olivia Troye, two Trump administration officials who became vocal critics, also signed.

But a number of Republicans who did not sign a similar letter on behalf of Mr. Biden in 2020 signed the one for Ms. Harris this time, including several former House members, like Charles W. Boustany Jr. of Louisiana, Barbara Comstock of Virginia, Dan Miller of Florida and Bill Paxon of New York.

In their letter, the Republicans acknowledged concerns about “some of the positions advocated by the left wing of the Democratic Party,” and some of them have been quite critical of the Biden-Harris administration. Just last year, Mr. Zoellick wrote a newspaper essay eviscerating Democratic economic policies. But the letter said that “any potential concerns” about Ms. Harris “pale in comparison to” those over Mr. Trump.

Trump, hardly New York’s favorite son, will bring his message to Long Island.

The New York City suburbs are not exactly the definition of a Republican stronghold, so on the eve of a rare campaign rally there, former President Donald J. Trump tried out an unorthodox pitch.

Inflation, he wrote on his social media platform, is “eating your hearts out.” Hundreds of thousands of migrants are flocking to the state while New Yorkers “are fleeing” for less expensive alternatives, he said. Put him in office, Mr. Trump added, and he would even restore the lucrative state and local tax deduction he capped as president.

“What the hell,” Mr. Trump wrote in all capital letters, “do you have to lose?”

Call it hubris or political cunning or an old-fashioned fantasy by a son of Queens, but Mr. Trump’s decision to expend one of the 49 days left in the race rallying at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island on Wednesday has left political strategists in both parties slightly confused.

To wit: The last Republican to carry New York was Ronald Reagan. Mr. Trump’s own campaign is not meaningfully spending in the state. And despite Mr. Trump’s insistence that he has a “real chance” of winning, recent polls have shown him no closer than 14 percentage points behind Vice President Kamala Harris.

Democrats are happy to watch him while away precious days anywhere but in battlegrounds like Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

“Listen, he could spend every day in this state, and I’ll be happy,” said Jay Jacobs, the chairman of New York’s Democratic Party.

Yet in many ways, the detour to New York offers an ideal backdrop for the issues animating Mr. Trump’s campaign, and nowhere more so than Long Island, the diverse patchwork of suburbs and bedroom communities that juts eastward from New York City.

The region, already one of the most expensive places to live in the world, is suffering under punishingly high housing costs and the toll of inflation. Crime rates have receded since the pandemic-era bump, but some residents report that they still do not feel safe. And many suburbanites have watched in frustration as the city and state have struggled to absorb an influx of more than 200,000 asylum seekers in about two years.

“The fact that he’s coming may seem like a surprise to some people, but there is something going on, a movement going on here,” said Bruce Blakeman, who rode a wave of Republican support to become Nassau’s county executive in 2021. A year later, Republicans won all four House races on Long Island.

Mr. Blakeman has subsequently turned Nassau County into a kind of laboratory for Trumpism, even recruiting an armed force of citizen “special deputies,” and he predicted that the area would warmly welcome Mr. Trump.

Organizers said they ran out of tickets over the weekend for the evening rally. Local Republican leaders are printing custom-made “Nassau ❤️ Trump” and “Suffolk ❤️ Trump” T-shirts for volunteers.

Local Republicans are promising to make the travel worth Mr. Trump’s while. Joseph G. Cairo Jr., the chairman of Nassau County’s storied Republican political machine , has organized a high-dollar fund-raiser on the sidelines of Wednesday’s rally that is expected to net several million dollars.

An invitation obtained by The New York Times offered tickets priced at $5,000 for reserved rally seating and $30,000 for a photo with the former president. For $250,000, the deep-pocketed few could enjoy the “V.I.P. Experience”: a brief chance to meet Mr. Trump, take a photo with him and lock down a “premium seat.” (Tickets for general admission were free.)

For all the enthusiasm, prominent Republicans seem to share little of Mr. Trump’s optimism that he can actually win New York.

“Winning the state of New York is uphill,” said Alfonse D’Amato, a former Republican senator from Long Island who is supporting Mr. Trump despite misgivings. “OK, I’m being generous.”

They are more hopeful, however, that Mr. Trump’s presence will help galvanize the party’s base in crucial down-ballot races. New York is home to perhaps the most important House battleground in the country, and a total of four swing races, nearly enough to tip national control, will play out on Long Island.

The most vulnerable Republican incumbent, Representative Anthony D’Esposito, is slated to speak Wednesday night before Mr. Trump, and signaled on Tuesday that he was eager to talk about Mr. Trump’s revised position on the state and local tax deduction. (Mr. D’Esposito’s spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.)

Mr. D’Esposito’s speaking role carries some risk. He represents a district Mr. Trump lost by 14 points in 2020, and Democrats believe the former president’s visit could motivate their supporters with equal force.

At least three other Republicans fighting to hold onto New York swing seats this fall are steering clear of the event altogether.

Representatives Mike Lawler and Marc Molinaro, both first-term congressmen from the Hudson Valley, said they planned to stay in Washington. Taylor Weyeneth, a spokesman for Representative Brandon Williams of Syracuse, went a step further, clarifying that even “if we weren’t in session, we’d be in our district speaking with constituents.”

Democrats are organizing their own rally outside the Coliseum in protest, featuring members of Nassau County’s sizable Haitian American community. Carrié Solages, a local legislator planning the event, said he expected hundreds of people to turn up who have been horrified to see the president and his allies amplifying outlandish, unfounded claims that Haitian migrants in Ohio were stealing and eating pets.

“We are sick and tired of the Haitian hate,” he said. “It has a significant effect in terms of psychological impact.”

Mr. Blakeman said local Republican officials had been discussing a possible Long Island rally with Mr. Trump’s campaign for months.

The former president held a handful of improvised campaign events around the city this spring when his criminal trial in Manhattan otherwise kept him off the campaign trail. He visited a Harlem bodega shaken by a stabbing, shook hands with construction workers and assembled thousands of supporters in the shadow of a beachfront amusement park not far from his old Atlantic City haunts.

Wednesday’s rally was also originally scheduled to coincide with another court date: Mr. Trump’s sentencing, after he was found guilty on all counts of falsifying business records to conceal a sex scandal. But earlier this month, the judge overseeing the Manhattan case postponed it until November .

Reporting from Flint, Mich.

Trump makes big promises, with little detail, for Michigan’s auto industry.

Two days after an apparent assassination attempt against him, former President Donald J. Trump showed few signs on Tuesday that he would shake up his approach to campaigning.

At a town hall in Flint, Mich., for his first campaign event since the Sunday incident, he made grand promises to restore auto-making jobs to the state, the heart of the American auto industry, as he gave long-winded, often meandering responses to only a few questions.

To the extent that Mr. Trump was focused, it was on repeatedly vowing that his tariffs would revitalize the auto industry in Michigan, a crucial battleground state, and that a Trump loss in November would be catastrophic — referring to such an outcome as a “tragedy.”

Using the dire language he often uses to frame this election, he said if “we don’t win, there will be zero car jobs, manufacturing jobs.”

“It will all be out of here,” he said.

Speaking to thousands of supporters in the Dort Financial Arena in Flint, he also insisted vaguely that his tariff proposals would be enough to reverse a decades-long decline in the American auto industry and bring “so many auto plants” into the state if elected.

Mr. Trump’s propensity for lengthy answers that jump from topic to topic was often on display. Asked by a Ford employee about the threats to manufacturing jobs, Mr. Trump immediately responded by discussing the threat of nuclear war and climate change before talking about trade policy.

And while answering, he blamed China for the Covid pandemic and said he would meet next week with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, a country he called “a very big abuser” of American trade policy.

Mr. Trump briefly recounted the incident on Sunday at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., commending the Secret Service on its response to the second apparent attempt on his life while also saying he needed “more people” on his protective detail.

After two days in which he and his campaign have, without evidence, blamed Democrats’ language both for the shooting he survived in Butler, Pa., and for the incident on Sunday, Mr. Trump suggested that foreign nations upset with his trade proposals might be to blame.

After discussing his plan to put a 200 percent tariff on cars imported from Mexico, Mr. Trump said: “And then you wonder why I get shot at, right? You know, only consequential presidents get shot at. When I say something like that, you have countries saying, ‘This guy.’ But what can you do?”

Mr. Trump to some extent softened his criticism of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, thanking them for calling him after Sunday’s episode. Even as he described the conversations as “very nice,” the crowd erupted in a chorus of boos.

Over roughly an hour, Mr. Trump took just three questions from audience members and two from the town hall’s moderator, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas, who more often made supportive statements that cleared the way for Mr. Trump to cycle through the same points that have animated his campaign.

Mr. Trump repeated his false insistence that he won in 2020, saying that “bad, bad things happened” that year, an allusion to his debunked claims of voter fraud. He insisted that he would curb inflation by raising U.S. oil and gas production, which has hit highs under the Biden administration.

As he was discussing energy policy, he at one point confused Bagram Air Base, which he makes central to his complaints about the Biden administration’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, with the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, which he opened up to oil and gas development during his presidency.

“We have Bagram in Alaska,” he said while talking about energy. “They say it might be as big, might be bigger than all of Saudi Arabia. I got it approved.”

Seconds later, he seemed to realize his mistake and tried to correct course. “Check that one out, Bagram. Check that one out. It’s, it’s — no, think about this: Between Bagram, between — you go to ANWR, you take a look at the kind of things that we’ve given up. We should be — we should have that air base, we should have that oil.”

Later, Mr. Trump claimed that his remarks, which at rallies and town halls often veer off course, were not rambling but had been intentional. After falsely asserting that people do not leave his rallies, a rebuttal of a jab Ms. Harris made at their debate, he said, “I give these long, sometimes very complex sentences and paragraphs, but they all come together.”

Mr. Trump’s event in Flint was his third town hall-style stop in three weeks. His campaign hosted one last month in Wisconsin that was moderated by Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic congresswoman who recently endorsed him, and then Mr. Trump took part in another hosted by Fox News’s Sean Hannity in Harrisburg, Pa.

Michigan is a critical battleground state that both campaigns are eyeing as they look for a path to victory in November. Mr. Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, held an event in Western Michigan earlier on Tuesday. Ms. Harris will also visit the state on Thursday, when she takes part in a livestream with Oprah Winfrey.

Mr. Trump won Michigan in 2016 by less than 0.3 percent, then lost it by about 2.8 percent four years later. Polls have shown Mr. Trump losing ground in the state since Ms. Harris became the Democratic nominee.
